As you assemble your station, you may wish to refer to this diagram.
With this overview, we are now ready for step-by-step instructions for installing
your station, which we will do in the following order:
•
how to use either of two different ways you can power the KAM’98,
•
how to connect the KAM’98’s Computer port (i.e., RS-232) to your
computer,
•
how to connect the KAM’98’s Radio port to your HF, HF/VHF, or VHF
transceiver, using a cable assembly to connect your KAM’98 to both the
speaker jack and the microphone of the transceiver (or to a data jack),
+ Note: Some HF transceivers (e.g., ICOM 706) now include some
VHF bands. These may be cabled to the KAM’89’s radio port for HF
or VHF operation.
+ See the Appendices for details on wiring the AUX connector to an
external auxiliary device, such as a remove sensing and/or control
device.
• (optional) how to connect a GPS device to the KAM’98’s computer port
or to the AUX port.
As we go through the steps of setting up your station, we will shift from hard-
ware to software issues and back, since your station needs to be set up both in
terms of hardware and software.
Connect Your KAM’98 to a Power Source
As illustrated on the left side of the station cabling diagram on page 40, there are
three ways to supply power to your KAM’98.
•
You may use external power by connecting the KAM’98 to a 12 volt dc
source on your bench.
•
You may use external power by connecting the KAM’98 to a 120Vac
power source using a 12 volt dc adaptor.
+
See Appendix E for the allowed range of voltage inputs.
